Fig. 1From: Engineering microbial cell factories for the production of plant natural products: from design principles to industrial-scale productionA schematic summary of microbial cell factories design, optimization and industrial production. The mining of biosynthetic pathways of plant natural products by sequencing-guided pathway exploration and artificial pathway recombination. Optimization of microbial cell factories by improving precursor supply, enzyme modification and transporter engineering. Industrial-scale production of three natural products (artemisinin, resveratrol and carotenoids) is shown as an exampleBack to article page
